Chad Kosie is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building resilient backup and cloud-native platforms, now leading architecture and delivery at Slide. He progressed from intern to staff roles at Datto, where he helped design an image-based upgrade for 70,000+ BDR appliances, launched direct-to-cloud PC backups, and migrated services from VMs to Kubernetes. Chad’s expertise spans systems architecture, public cloud deployments, and operationalizing secure, high-throughput backup services for MSPs and Azure VMs. He thrives in product-driven teams, frequently wearing multiple hats—from hands-on coding and infrastructure deployment to mentoring engineers and coordinating cross-functional stakeholders. Known for pragmatic engineering trade-offs, he focuses on delivering measurable reliability and scalability rather than theoretical perfection. Based in Fairfield, CT, he pairs deep BCDR domain knowledge with a track record of shipping production systems at scale.
